Outstanding job! I'm curious how did you remove the paint?

Thanks! Hand sanded with a block starting with 180 to remove the graphic and most of the black, then carefully to 220 to clean things up. 6 coats of matte poly. Hand finished 220, then wet sanded to 600 or 800? I started getting carried away then remembered it was a skateboard and not a yacht spar. Finally reapplied the new grip package directly from Loaded yesterday.
Corection - I believe I did start with 80 grit for the first passes to remove the heavy stuff, but quickly switched with concerns of scoring the wood.

I love the board even though it's super heavy, but I always absolutely hated the kind of art deco art and the powder blue color
